Megalopolis Trailer (6:00)
Before we dive into our 2000 Retrospective, we had to talk about the insane Megalopolis from last week that included fake quotes from real critics that were derived using ChatGPT. It was a fun trailer, but making it all up was…uh…a bold move. It was too crazy for us to ignore.

– 2000 Retrospective (15:40)
As always, we begin our retrospective by talking about the year as a whole and the movies that shaped its narrative. Roger Ebert famously stated that 2000 was a “bad” year for movies, and while there are always great films up at the top, it wasn’t the greatest year overall. Although, there are some notable exceptions. It was, however, a spectacular year for auteurs and foreign films.

– Top 10 Movies of 2000 (50:35)
2000 might lack in depth overall, but the films up at the top feature some all-timers. There are some incredibly influential movies that still resonate today. Some of them are sprawling and bleak, but the power they exude is undeniable. Regardless of how it all shakes out, we are fully in love with these movies and had a great time talking about them.
